Buckwheat Pancakes Recipe

These pancakes are really tasty. I modified a Cooks.com recipe after preparing ricotta cheese, because I found myself with a bunch of sour (acid) whey that I didn't want to throw away. If you don't have whey, the alternate liquid ingredients will work just fine and produce a delicious pancake.

I love buckwheat pancakes... Our Masonic Lodge in Michigan used to serve these once a month... So good. You can not even get the mix here in South Texas. I used to have my sister ship from Mi... Might have to do that again... Thanks for reminding me!

NUTRITIONAL NOTE: According to the Whole Grains Council, "Buckwheat is the only grain known to have high levels of an antioxidant called rutin, and studies show that it improves circulation and prevents LDL cholesterol from blocking blood vessels."

PS. I served the pancakes with scrambled eggs with proscuitto ham, fresh thyme, and mixed cheeses (Jarlsberg and ricotta), and the sweetness of the pancakes deliciously complemented the saltiness of the ham and eggs.

Buckwheat flour might require a trip to your local health food store. Wild Oats and Whole Foods would be good bets, or you might be able to find one through this index: http://www.greenpeople.org/healthfood.htm
